How is this even possible in 2024? I realize Rochester isn’t exactly a major metropolis, but we’re in the middle of town! It’s not like they’re relying on Hughesnet or something.

Also, it’s not that they’re cheaping out on us either. The owners live upstairs. This is a duplex.

    Damn 20 ms ping.

    Edit: Wait, you are probably just on WiFi.

      Is 20 bad or good? I feel like having lower ping than that is impossible in Canada

        Imo it’s not great but it’s not terrible either.

        I would personally consider it bad if I got 20 ping on my personal desktop that’s using ethernet and the home is connected using fiber. I would expect something closer to 1-5 ms.

        If I had 20 ms on WiFi I wouldn’t complain.

        That’ll depend on the server you’re connecting to to test your speed, and also if you’re using wifi.

        Shaw (in Western Canada) seems to route everything through Seattle so there’s like a built-in 20 millisecond delay for every destination.
